The summer is one of our most physically demanding months, and why is that you ask? Well let's see if I can put in into one word...
...children...
During our summer months we provide children programs called Summer Reading Programs through different State Library Sites.
So what does this mean for us librarians who already have a busy and/or hectic schedule. It means we have to tank up on at least three cups of coffee, two sodas, two Mountain Dew, and maybe a little Gatorade on the side. I ain't kidding people, having to chase down twenty kids during a program is not easy. For all of you parents out there, you know what I'm talking about, now just imagine more then the national average 2.4 per family.
Parents PLEASE don't leave us alone with your children. (children scare us librarians) Yes we love them for our programs, but having to chase them before they leave the building isn't an easy task when there's just three of us around. So from this point on, parents if you do leave you children alone with us, this is what will most likely be given to them.
1.) Red Bull.
2.) High sugar content candy.
Let's just call it payback for all the librarians who go through harassment from your center-of-the-world child, and may you enjoy the bounce-off-the-wall children we send back to you.
Sincerely,
The Egg Wolfing, *evil grinning* Exhausted Librarian
